Outfit of the Week - April Showers

I hate how many of my posts start with information on the weather, but hey, I live in Oklahoma. And tornado-watch season officially began last night, which means I've got a bag full of water bottles and granola bars for basement hideouts, regular tv programming turns into constant storm warnings, and my iPhone weather app has hail icons all over it. Funsies.

Now, on to the outfit. I bought this dress back in October, but I've never worn it on the blog. I got it thinking it would be incredibly versatile, but honestly, it's just a little too short to wear to work. Even so, I'm still glad I bought it for $12. Totally worth it to wear just to wear with my new rain boots even once. You guys, I love them. I keep them by the front door and think of any excuse to wear them. "Oh, the dog needs to go out? Let me put on my rain boots and go outside to keep him company while he goes to the bathroom." "You want me to bring in that package from the front porch? Oh well, let me put on my rain boots so my socks don't get dirty." You guys, I love them.

I dont think the dress looks short but if you want, can always wear with skinny jeans & turn it into a tunic top during cold weather with the boots & then it really gets versatile. Stripes never go out of fashion, so $12 is well worth it.

Adorable outfit!! Love the strips and navy/red combo. I've been dying to get a pair of my own Hunter wellies but A. I can't decide on a color and B. I can't seem to take the plunge since they are a little pricier than my usual footwear choices. You've made me rethink my "need" for them. I'm moving to Arkansas in July and I hear it rains a lot... maybe that should be my reason for finally buying them :)

Doooooo it! I had a cheaper pair of boots that busted open one day and I just decided I needed something that would last me a much longer time. I had to give up buying any other clothes for a month, but it was totally worth it!

I absolutely love this outfit! Especially the BOOTS! I'm glad to hear that you love them, because I've had my eye on them forever, and I'm slowly working up the courage to buy them (I'm pretty thrifty haha). I'm pretty sure you said they were black in the other post, but I just have to make sure; are they black, or blue? Either way, they're perfect :)

It was really hard for me to buy them too - I HATE spending money! But I feel like they were a good investment, I'm sure I'll have them forever. Mine are actually the high gloss gray - they are a little hard to photograph so sorry about the confusion!

I think I have that same dress in black. I agree it's a tad short for work. I wore mine and then tugged on it all day long. I totally want a cute pair of rain boots. Love how you styled them with this dress :)

I agree - it's just a tiiiny bit too short :( I wore mine to work with tights once and every time I stood up, I had to adjust it. But I love the look so I'm sure I'll continue to endure the uncomfortable-ness!

Thanks so much for your comment! I reply to my comments via email, but I can't do that if you are a no-reply blogger (if you don't know what that means, you probably are). Check out this tutorial to fix it!
